2014 land-rover lr4 Model Overview

Vehicle Overview

Can’t quite afford a Range Rover? The Land Rover LR4 is your next best yet. Known as the Discovery in other markets, this lux SUV is has lots to offer with its superior off-road capability and a beautifully crafted interior, making it hard to believe that the Range Rover is that much nicer. But until you get can get yourself into a Rangie, the LR4 can serve as a good introduction to the opulent off-roaders. The 2014 Land Rover is now powered by a punchy supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 instead of the slightly more powerful and less efficient 5.0-liter V-8.

The 2014 Land Rover LR4 is offered in a single trim level that comes equipped with 19-inch wheels, fog lights, heated exterior mirrors, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, push-start button, a sunroof, a fixed rear sunroof, Bluetooth, and a touchscreen. The optional HSE package adds nicer 19-inch wheels, LED daytime running lights, power-folding mirrors, front parking sensors, third-row seats, rear climate control, a rearview camera, and navigation. The HSE Lux package further throws in front and rear heated seats, a heated windshield and steering wheel, adaptive headlights, ambient lighting, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. Other standard features on the LR4 include four-wheel drive, a height-adjustable air suspension, a blindspot monitoring system, and other new safety features such as Closing Vehicle Sensing and Reverse Traffic Detection systems. With the 2014 model, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that the brute V-8 has been dropped, but the good news is that it has been replaced with the supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 that also appears in the Jaguar F-Type roadster as well as the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

The supercharged six-cylinder puts out 340 hp, and is paired with an eight-speed automatic that should help boost fuel economy. The previous LR4 achieved 12/17 mpg city/highway, so expect the 2014 model’s to be much better. We sampled the British automaker’s supercharged V-6 in the Range Rover Sport, and were left impressed. “Really, the V-6 with 340 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque is more than enough power to flog the Range Rover Sport through any countryside. Land Rover estimates its 0-60-mph time as 6.9 seconds, but the Sport feels faster than that,” we said in a review of the 2014 Range Rover Sport. But even with the V-8, the LR4 finished first in a comparison with the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland because its “combination of on-road finesse and off-road capability.”

What’s New for 2014

The 2014 Land Rover LR4 has been mildly refreshed with a revised front grille and headlights. That’s not the big news, as it drops its 5.0-liter V-8 in favor of a supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 that’s paired with an eight-speed automatic. An engine stop-start system is now standard, and the base-model LR4 gets a lighter single-speed transfer case four-wheel-drive system that may also help with fuel economy.
